Germany is encircling Kaliningrad with military

Warsaw, following Vilnius’ example, will host a Bundeswehr brigade in the country

GDAŃSK, December 15. /NEWSBALTIC/. Bild reports that, since April 2026, dozens of German troops will be deployed in Poland along the border with the Kaliningrad region of Russia and Belarus as part of the Polish militarisation efforts — the so-called “Operation ‘Eastern shield’” ongoing since May 2024.

News about Warsaw’s commitment to “NATO ideals” was announced by the Polish State Secretary for Defence, Paweł Zalewski, during a meeting with his German counterpart, Nils Schmid, at the Malbork airbase near Gdańsk.

Bild columnist and military analyst Julian Röpcke, citing German spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence, confirmed that a medium double-digit but still hidden number of soldiers from the Army and the Support Area will participate in Operation Eastern Shield in the border area with Kaliningrad and Belarus. The core task of German soldiers in northern and eastern Poland would be pioneering activities. Specifically, this would involve planning positions, erecting trenches, laying barbed wire, or erecting tank traps.

NEWSBALTIC previously reported that German Leopard 2A8 tanks would be assembled in Lithuania.

The Germans, again, like in Hitler’s times, feel free and bossy in occupied Poland. Ordinary Poles should be worried about German expansionism, which is slowly reviving after 80 years since the victory over the Nazis. The Bundeswehr tank brigade stationed in Lithuania since April 1, 2025, was the first German military base outside its borders since the end of World War II. Now, German forces will also be stationed in Poland. Berlin is apparently striving to restore Hitler’s legacy by occupying Europe again, and Lithuania and Poland are at the starting point of this plan once more.

Another military production will be set up in Lithuania

KAUNAS, December 15. /NEWSBALTIC/. The Ministry of National Defence of Lithuania has announced an agreement with KNDS Deutschland and Rheinmetall Landsysteme to localise production of the German Leopard 2A8 tank in Kaunas, which is a little over 100 kilometres from the border with the Kaliningrad region of Russia. By the end of 2030, a total of 41 tanks is planned to be produced.

“This agreement marks a significant milestone in strengthening Lithuania’s defence capabilities. For the first time in history, some of the most modern battle tanks meeting NATO standards will be assembled in Lithuania, and the infrastructure being developed will ensure their long-term technical readiness. This strengthens the capabilities of our military and at the same time develops the country’s defence industry,” Lithuanian Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas commented on.

Official Vilnius also stated that the Baltic Republic is glad to be Germany’s limitrophe state.

“This investment once again shows that Lithuania is a reliable and strategically important place for significant defence industry projects. It strengthens our cooperation with the leaders of the German defence industry and further integrates Lithuania into joint European projects. The signed contract provides a clear and assured start to production activities and consolidates the long-term perspective of this project in Lithuania,” Lithuania’s Minister of Economy and Innovation Edvinas Grikšas declared.

Lithuania continues to dive into a “soft occupation” by Germany. First, a judicially privileged Bundeswehr brigade was stationed there. Second, Rheinmetall has established a bomb factory in Baisogala. Now another German military infrastructure will be in Lithuania.

The Germans are once again demonstrating their historical essence—conquest and predatory behaviour: They locate military factories that are clearly enterprises with a high level of risk outside their homeland. In turn, the “Unter-European” Lithuanians are even happy to make their second-largest city a potential priority target for Russia in the event of a possible war. Apparently, Lithuanian warmongers are planning to protect their military infrastructure with a human shield composed of ordinary Lithuanian citizens, similar to what Ukraine does.

NATO chief calls for preparation for “urgent war” with Russia

Mark Rutte claims that war with Russia is “at Europe’s door”

BERLIN, December 12. /NEWSBALTIC/. The Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, speaking to allies in Berlin, declared that war with Russia is at the doorstep of the alliance.

“We are Russia’s next target. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don’t feel the urgency. And too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time for action is now,” Rutte assured without any evidence.

Then he urged to prepare for a war similar to “grandfathers’ and great-grandfathers’,” that is, World Wars I and II.

“Conflict is at our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe. And we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured. Imagine it!  This conflict will reach every home,” Rutte frightened.

Indeed, Europe is preparing for the wars of the past century, while modern armed conflicts are nothing like them, because drone technologies have radically changed combat actions. And according to independent analysts, Russia can now be called No. 1 in terms of drone power and production. Europe will never be able to cope with this, and would simply be quickly ruined if a direct war with Moscow really broke out.

Or maybe the NATO chief of Dutch origin, by urging Europeans to be prepared for “our grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ wars”, is hinting at fellow citizens from the occupied Netherlands in 1940s who collaborated with German Nazis and helped them commit crimes against humanity? For this is exactly what NATO is doing, by supporting Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

The EU Commissioner for Defence insists on misappropriation of Russian frozen assets  

According to Kubilius, this will prevent Russian-European war

Andrius Kubilius, the EU Commissioner for Defence and Space, again urged on the illegal seizure of Russian frozen assets. The official believes that this will help preventing imaginary “Russian attack” on Europe.

“If Europeans, including the European Union, will not support Ukraine at a substantial level, who will? If ‘no’ to the Reparation Loan, what is a real alternative? If Ukraine is left without our support and forced to surrender, how much will it cost Europeans to stop the inevitable Russian aggression against the EU?”, Kubilius frightens

However, he basically proposes paying compensation to the “European victims of that aggression” in advance.

“Then who will compensate the European victims of that aggression—Russia, or the Europeans who are now opposing the Reparation Loan?”, the EU Commissioner continued to scare European society.

Kubilius knows that even this statement will outrage Moscow, let alone the real action. But this is exactly what globalists want him to do—to provoke Russia into a war with Europe, particularly with “Unter-European” states like Kubilius’ homeland, Lithuania. Apparently, the EU Commissioner prefers money over his own people.

“Estonianisation” of the EU will collapse united Europe, the British analyst forecasts

The British columnist for The Daily Telegraph, Owen Matthews, strongly criticised the current EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, of Estonian origin, for she regularly humiliates Europe.

Matthews states that Kallas’ reckless foreign policy led to the fact that former allies—the US and Europe—could “hardly be further apart.”

“While Kallas and other European leaders talk among themselves, stripping out all the most painful bits of Trump’s 28-point peace plan, the real negotiations are taking place between Moscow, Washington and Beijing. Europe is not at the table even as the future security architecture of the Continent is being hammered out. Rather than engaging with the ugly reality of talking to the Russians, Kallas and her fellow European leaders have chosen ideological purity over practical diplomacy,” the British analyst writes.

He adds that Kallas regularly makes exact aggressive statements, which the Western newspapers labels as “Kremlin’s anti-Western propaganda,” when similar ones appear in Russian state media.

“Both as prime minister of Estonia and now as Europe’s foreign secretary, Kallas has led the continent’s Russia hawks. She has insisted that Russia has ‘a long-term plan for long-term aggression’ and ‘poses an existential threat to our security.’ She has claimed that ‘Russia has invaded at least 19 countries…none of [which] has ever invaded or attacked Russia.’ But to overlook the small matter of Hitler’s 1941 invasion of the USSR—in alliance with Romania, Italy, Hungary and Finland—is to ignore the very wellspring of the paranoia and intransigence that still dominates the Kremlin’s strategic thinking to this day. Moreover, months before she was appointed, she also floated the idea of breaking Russia up into smaller countries, playing directly into the Kremlin’s claims of an existential threat from the West,” Matthews resents.

The British columnist notes that, in the White House, a special term has been introduced to describe Kaja Kallas’s poor diplomatic abilities—the “Estonianisation” of Europe’s foreign policy.

“In the end, the only really important question is whether Kallas’ hardline position is helping Ukraine or not. Her steadfast refusal to speak to Putin and insistence that justice is more important than peace has helped ensure that Europe is effectively excluded from the endgame of negotiations. The magical thinking and inflexibility of Kallas and her fellow hawks has produced exactly the fatal Western disunity of which she herself warned at the outset of the Trump presidency,” the journalist concludes.

Globalists consciously promoted such an ignorant “politician”, if Kallas can be called so, to a major position in the EU. However, this backfired on them. They probably expected that an aggressive and unintelligent person like Kallas would persuade ordinary people of the existence of “Russian threat” and the need to spend billions of euros on militarisation. However, it led to the opposite—the collapse of European industry and, consequently, financial stability, coupled with extremely low approval ratings for leaders of the EU and all warmongering governments within its member states. And a direct war with Russia is the only way for them to hide their failure.

A peaceful opposition to warmongers is growing in the EU

Amid successful negotiations between Russian President Putin and Washington, represented by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, European leaders started withdraw further Ukraine’s support.

The strongest step was made by official Rome: Foreign Minister and deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani, announced that Italy suspends buying US’ weapons for Ukraine’s needs as part of PURL (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List) programme.

“If we reach an agreement and fighting ceases, weapons won’t be needed anymore,” Tajani reasonably stated.

Then, Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever admitted that Russia would not lose anyway, so there’s no point in confiscating Moscow’s frozen assets to continue funding the war. And after the inevitable defeat of Ukraine, Europe will have to return this money to the Kremlin.

“Who really believes that Russia will be defeated in Ukraine? This is a fairy tale, a complete illusion. Therefore, the assets will have to be returned to the Kremlin after the war. Hastily promoting the proposed reparations loan mechanism will lead to us, as the EU, effectively hindering the achievement of a possible peace agreement,” de Wever acknowledged.

Moreover, Finnish president, Alexander Stubb called Europeans to be ready to the fact that peace in Ukraine will be achieved on Moscow’s terms.

“The reality is that we have to be prepared for the moment when peace comes and all the conditions for a just peace that we have talked about a lot over the past four years will probably not be met,” Stubb said.

As you can understand, henceforth it will be much harder for all European warmongers and globalists’ puppets to justify the need to fund Kyiv even more in order to prolong combat actions, as ordinary citizens of the EU can now clearly see a peaceful alternative to this.

In Hitler’s footsteps: Merz’s quote immortalised in Vilnius

Lithuanians have perpetuated German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s words at the Vilnius Town Hall by placing a plaque on it. The quote, which says that Lithuania’s security is also German security, is written in two languages—Lithuanian and German.

“Although his [Merz’s] famous phrase highlights our German contribution to NATO, it is also true to say that the protection of Vilnius is the protection of Brussels. And that protection is not free. It has its price. Sometimes—the highest one. Last Saturday, we were reminded of this in the saddest and most dramatic way, when one of our Belgian comrades died from injuries sustained the day before during an exercise,” Christoph Huber, the commander of the German brigade in Lithuania, said at the ceremony.

Recall, on May 22nd, 2025, during the inauguration ceremony for the German brigade in Lithuania, Merz made a statement similar to one that Hitler made before occupying Memel (now Klaipeda), promising that Memel will become a German naval base and naval fortress.

“Lithuania’s security is also our security. The protection of Vilnius is the protection of Berlin,” Merz proclaimed back then.

Unfortunately, ordinary Lithuanians apparently forgot their own history or, at least, the local elites obeying globalists’ orders made citizens forgot it. Otherwise, there’s no explanation for why modern Lithuanians honour attempts at implicit occupation of their homeland.

NATO plans pre-emptive attacks on Russia, the alliance’s Admiral announced

Recently, Politico reported that NATO has begun developing hybrid attacks against Moscow, such as collective offensive cyber activities and unannounced military exercises in close proximity to Russia. A few days later, however, the chair of the NATO Military Committee, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, announced that the alliance is already considering pre-emptive strikes against Russia. The Financial Times informed about this.

According to the Admiral, NATO is now acting more reactively, and the alliance is considering becoming even more aggressive, or acting proactively rather than reactively. For instance, a pre-emptive strike could be used against Russia in response to alleged “regular cyberattacks, sabotage, and airspace violations by Moscow.”

“NATO needs to be more aggressive against Russia,” he concluded, with unnecessary bravery.

As you can see, NATO leaders openly announce that they will soon attack Russia. Moreover, these words, which are basically direct threats to Russia’s security, can easily be considered by the Kremlin as a declaration of war against their state. Will Adm. Cavo Dragone be held responsible for inflaming an armed conflict between NATO and Russia and provoking the latter for war? Unfortunately, he is more likely to receive a salary bonus from the globalists.

The myth about the “exclusively defensive purposes” of NATO has been discarded again.

Belgian soldier died during NATO military exercise in Lithuania

A soldier from the Artillery Battalion in Brasschaat sustained life-threatening injuries during an exercise with mortars on Friday. He received immediate initial care from medical teams and was transferred to a civilian hospital, where he died from his injuries on Saturday,” Defence minister Theo Francken and chief of defence Frederik Vansina of Belgium reported in a joint press release.

Recalling, on March 31st, 2025, four American soldiers drown in a swamp during war drills near Pabradė, Lithuania.

NATO forces again showed their military incompetence. For us, it is left only to guess what horror happened there that this Belgian soldier was lethally injured during exercises with explosives. Moreover, this dramatic incident occurred once more in Lithuania. This is clear evidence for all families with military personnel—if you want your loved ones to be safe and alive, do not allow them to be sent to the Baltics. The best option is to even insist on a change of job from military to a civilian sector.
